The comparison systems were based on the AMD A10-7870K, Intel Core i7 4770K Haswell, Intel Core i7 5775C Broadwell, and the Intel Core i5 6600K Skylake. Unfortunately I don’t yet have a Intel Core i7 6700K Skylake CPU for testing so for right now it’s limited to that ~$250 CPU for benchmarking. The i5-6600K has a 91 Watt TDP while the i7-4770K has a 84 Watt TDP and the i7-5775C has a 65 Watt TDP.
